  2. Solution of triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_of_triangles

    Solution of triangles (Latin: solutio triangulorum) is the main trigonometric problem of finding the characteristics of a triangle (angles and lengths of sides), when some of these are known. The triangle can be located on a plane or on a sphere. Applications requiring triangle solutions include geodesy, astronomy, construction, and navigation.

  3. Malfatti circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malfatti_circles

    Malfatti's assumption that the two problems are equivalent is incorrect. Lob and Richmond (), who went back to the original Italian text, observed that for some triangles a larger area can be achieved by a greedy algorithm that inscribes a single circle of maximal radius within the triangle, inscribes a second circle within one of the three remaining corners of the triangle, the one with the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langley's_Adventitious_Angles

    adventitious quadrangles problem. A quadrilateral such as BCEF is called an adventitious quadrangle when the angles between its diagonals and sides are all rational angles, angles that give rational numbers when measured in degrees or other units for which the whole circle is a rational number.

  5. Acute and obtuse triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_and_obtuse_triangles

    An acute triangle (or acute-angled triangle) is a triangle with three acute angles (less than 90°). An obtuse triangle (or obtuse-angled triangle) is a triangle with one obtuse angle (greater than 90°) and two acute angles. Since a triangle's angles must sum to 180° in Euclidean geometry, no Euclidean triangle can have more than one obtuse ...

  6. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

    The apparent triangles formed from the figures are 13 units wide and 5 units tall, so it appears that the area should be S = ⁠ 13×5 / 2 ⁠ = 32.5 units. However, the blue triangle has a ratio of 5:2 (=2.5), while the red triangle has the ratio 8:3 (≈2.667), so the apparent combined hypotenuse in each figure is actually bent.

  7. Angle trisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_trisection

    For example, ⁠ 3 π / 7 ⁠ is such an angle: five angles of measure ⁠ 3 π / 7 ⁠ combine to make an angle of measure ⁠ 15 π / 7 ⁠, which is a full circle plus the desired ⁠ π / 7 ⁠. For a positive integer N , an angle of measure ⁠ 2 π / N ⁠ is trisectible if and only if 3 does not divide N .

  8. STL (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format)

    STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. [3] [4] [5] Chuck Hull, the inventor of stereolithography and 3D Systems’ founder, reports that the file extension is an abbreviation for stereolithography, [6] although it is also referred to as standard triangle language or standard tessellation language.
